    Summary

    “Oh, no, you definitely don’t want to do that,” Kara said, picking up a paper cup and dumping a teabag in it.

    The woman next to her looked up, surprise etched onto her pale, drawn face. “Excuse me?” she rasped.

    Kara nodded at the coffee pot the woman had picked up and wrinkled her nose. “You’d get better coffee at the 7-Eleven across the street and that’s saying something. I’d stick with tea.”

    “Oh. Oh … okay.”

    “First time?” Kara asked, glancing sideways at the woman.

    She was striking, her medium height made a fraction taller by her heels, the tailored cut of her clothes precise, her makeup perfect and her dark hair long and sleek. In her scrubs and denim jacket, bare-faced and dishevelled, Kara felt positively inadequate. And yet, there was the same hollowed out look to the newcomer's face, a sadness in her green eyes, a weary slump to her shoulders that was recognisable.

    “Yes.”

    Picking up a glazed donut, Kara took a bite and gave her a strained smile. “I’d say it’s good to have you here but … well, obviously not.”

    Summary

    I've written a handful of smaller one shot stories that rarely ever get posted to Ao3.
    Figured I'd collect them all and post it under one banner. A real mixed bag of stuff. Mostly light hearted but you never know.
    Expect some repeated stories from prior posts.
    Some might be dark, some might be smutty. We'll see how it goes.

    Summary

    “Last year, Jackie Taylor got hit like a freight train by Matthews—suffered a third-degree concussion and lost hearing in her right ear. She was planning to try out for the Olympic team. Now she’s lucky to be alive.” Martinez gestures to the newspaper again. “Taylor’s back with the Yellowjackets, but she can barely play. She’s timid, nervous—absolutely terrified of being on the ice.”

    “What’s this gotta do with me?”

    “The Yellowjackets wanna hire you, Shipman.” Martinez smiles. “They want you out there protecting Taylor. Help her get her confidence back. She was one of the best in the league before that hit.”

    “They’re hiring me to play bodyguard?” Shauna mutters, eyes glued to how breakable Jackie Taylor looks. “Okay. Yeah. I’ll—yeah, sure, I accept.”

    Or

    A hockey au where Shauna is an enforcer hired to protect Jackie on the ice after an injury.

    Summary

    It’s been two years since the wilderness. Shauna’s 21, hates her job at the grocery store, and today a somehow still alive, 42-year-old Jackie Taylor ends up in her checkout line—with no idea who she is.

    Or

    Maturity looks really good on Jackie. Shauna wants to taste it.
